Phoenix Offers Financial Incentives to Residents to Help Conserve Water

Phoenix Water is launching new programs to promote water conservation and help our customers save money while making the most of the resources available, preserving water for future generations. High-efficiency appliances and fixtures contribute to the City’s overall water conservation goals by offering a low-effort, accessible solution. These items can significantly reduce indoor and outdoor water usage; all you need to do is make the switch.
